Harry Smith with his anti-authortarian presense does his best to convey to his class the nature of the Native American Consciousness. Some students claim that the ritual use of Peyote was not introduced, nor the infighting of the tribes until the settlers landed. He articulately give answers to very abstract questions, leaving the class bewildered at their own apparent lack of insight. Check this out it is like listening to a good jazz concert. Chimi
